Good afternoon, everyone.

[ Yep, another audio message from Hanako. The video confidence she had in the past was short-lived, considering all that stuff that happened afterwards. At least she sounds way less worn out than the last time. Her sleep schedule returned to normal thanks to Euri's charm. ]

Firstly, I want to thank all the people who took part in the replanting of the park. Your contribution was extremely helpful... hopefully we can keep going like this, in case there will be other attacks that will cause damage to the city.

Secondly... considering what we have gone through for the past month, I was thinking that it should be time for another traveller-based event like the Festival we successfully hosted. However, I would like to do something different this time, possibly something we never did before. The problem is, I am out of ideas as of now, so I wondered if any of you could have suggestions that might help us organize something. Like always, any kind of material or supportive help is very appreciated. If someone already decided on something, I would like to support it as well, so please let me know.

[ Okay. With that out of the way... onto another set of business. ]

( FOR THE NIGHTLIGHT CLUB CREW AND ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN JOINING! )

This is all I had to say. Thank you for your time, as always.

[ There is a click noise, as she cuts the audio communication down. ]

((OOC: For the future writers, here's the pastebin with all the altered names of most characters to avoid fourthwalling. Needless to say, this is going to be the worst hideous thing I'm ever going to do.

Also, for those who wondered why I haven't made a log for that "replanting of the park" little plot, I decided to handwave it since I also had another plot to take care of, so we can assume that the people who accepted to help have gone there and planted things with Hanako /o/ ))

[Castiel is using audio rather than video simply because he doesn't want the questions about how bad he looks after the last curse, which thankfully wore off this morning. He has a great deal of sleeping to catch up on, but there are important things to address first, the main one being a little awkward.]

A few days ago I was afflicted with a curse, and I may have... Injured someone, or potentially more than one person. I'm not certain who or how badly due to the nature of the curse, but whoever might have been, or anyone, I apologize. I hope whatever damage done was not too great.

[He really hadn't meant to hurt anyone; he isn't even sure he did. Everything was so mixed up and still is, and he's quiet several seconds before continuing with the rest of what he was supposed to address.]

I am attempting to compile a detailed listing of powers and what is possible at each level of strength. Those who are willing to provide descriptions of your abilities and how they have changed as your power increased would be appreciated.

[There's something else he's supposed to mention, but he's not sure about doing it at the moment with everything else going on. That and he's not entirely sure it's possible to filter away from the gods, which would be useful, and he needs to look into that first.

So instead he just ends the feed there.]

So, hopefully everyone's okay again after all of... that. It got a bit tough for a while. [ Understatement, but she rolls with it. And quickly moves on. The sentiment was definitely real but just a bit of a preface for what she really wants ]

And I'm hoping that people are okay enough to answer a few questions? You know, being the new girl and all there's just one or two. [ Or one leading to two leading to twenty... hundred ]

So. Things have been said which are kind of making me think that this has happened before. Maybe not this this but something bad. That and the war, and war's bad enough, well... we're kind of really underprepared. [ She doesn't even know what to do herself - or if she can do anything ]

But. Second point. They say our powers are gone, but what about something more... innate? [ Like her natural magic. She can't orb but she hasn't exactly tried a spell yet. Or scrying. She'd love to do that, scry for a god, or someone ] Something that's kind of natural to you. Has anyone had anything like that and kept it? I know people have talked to the gods about powers and they've kind of shown us what'd happen if we had them [ She's so glad she missed that - for them ] but what if it's not entirely like a power? [ And that's about all she can say without being vague. Oh boy ]

So. Thanks. And feel better.

Hi, I'm Paige. [ In case you forgot from her last post ] So, Conan might have mentioned one or two things about where you're from and I was kind of curious? [ Okay. He said possession and demons may have come up. Or she might have just assumed since possessor demons etc etc. She just wants to chat ]

[A feed starts up that's completely black, but what the strangest thing my be is that the user that it comes up as is "???". There's no name attached.

However, about 30 seconds in, tiny streaks of light begin running through the darkness, but they're probably too small to tell that they're made up of 0s and 1s. The little lights continuing moving up and down the screen, and they're soon joined with words, sounds, and other visuals:]


( Cut for length & mention of gore/death. )

((ooc: ???'s been hit with a "broadcast mind" curse, so basically all his thoughts going to be up for viewing. (How ironic, huh?) However, most of these thoughts don't belong to him since they're general thoughts of Travelers & Natives that he's overheard with Telepathy and is reflecting on. Sorry for the messiness! I wanted to emphasize the fact that his thoughts are very muddled and all over the place. Cut is actually a link redirect to the entry on ???'s journal. For some reason the post doesn't want to stay under a cut. :\

Also, if you want a thought from your character included so that they can react that they've had their mind read at some point, just PM me & I'll add it in. Thoughts & memories that ??? may have overheard must be from AFTER the Darkness/when ??? obtained lv 3, unless it's something your character had reflected on past that point.))
